STRAWBERRY GAZPACHO (SPANISH COLD SOUP) | VEGAN RECIPE


WIKI NOTE:
Gazpacho has ancient roots. There are several theories of its origin, including as an Arab soup of bread, olive oil, water, and garlic that arrived in Spain and Portugal with the Moors, or via the Romans with the addition of vinegar.
